FAQ’s

General:

How long have you been in business?
Matthew Hanks started this business in the early part of 2007.  But he operated the same business while in Texas under the name of SNS Construction for four years prior to moving here.

Where do you work? 
We prefer jobs in the Colorado Springs area and surrounding communities.  However, are willing to travel state wide if the job is right.

What kind of work do you prefer?
We prefer well-designed, green building focused projects that are close to home.  However, the bigger criterion for the success of any project is the people involved.  Our main priorities are the people attached to any project.

What is the primary goal of your company?
To help create and focus the desires and needs of the homeowner into a design that is aesthetically what they want, one that they can afford, and one that meets all there needs.  Then deliver to them a level of service and craftsmanship that far exceeds that which they hoped for.

Design:

Can you help with the designs, plans and permit for my job?
Yes our in-house capabilities include design.  We have on staff an architectural designer as well as interior designers, and vendors that we work closely with to help customize any type of project from kitchen and bath remodeling to additions, decks, exteriors, new homes and light commercial work.

Will you work with plans I already have?
Of course.  However, the earlier we can be involved in the project the better chance we’ll have at designing something that matches the budget, as well as help consult on the elements of design which are necessary to look at from a construction point of view.

Can you help me pick materials and finishes?
Yes, we have lots of resources and vendor relationships to help clients and designers select materials.  This also gives us an opportunity to point out potential green alternatives to every day practices of construction and highlight products that have performed well for previous clientele.

Estimating:

Do you give free estimates?
Yes, however on larger jobs where detailed estimating can take many hours, cost consultation will have a fee unless we are already considered the contractor of choice.

What are “open books”? 
In an attempt battle the stereo-type of the “greasy” contractor, we are happy to show you where every one of your dollars is spent.  Our estimates show broken down costs for each item of construction along with our projected overhead and profit.

Will I get the best price with Peacemaker Design/Build?
Although we consider our pricing to be very competitive, I’m sure someone out there can always beat us.  While we may not project the lowest initial budget, we are confident that we provide excellent value in the long run.  Our focus is on helping our clients get the best value, not necessarily the lowest price.

Contracts:

What type of contract do you use?
Our standard contract is drawn from various sources.  It uses relatively simple terminology and language, and details terms and conditions of the warranty, change orders, and payment schedule. (click to download pdf)

Production:

Do you provide a written job schedule?
Yes.  A calendar created in Microsoft Project highlighting major categories of construction, material delivery dates, inspections, and payments will be created and updated on large jobs.

Who will build my job?
At the beginning of the job you will be assigned a project manager who will also be an acting foreman.  He will lead our guys in performing many of the details of construction.

Do you subcontract some of the work?
Yes.  We have developed a very strong team of trusted tradesman to handle all the licensed trades that we aren’t qualified to handle (i.e. Plumbing, Electrical, Mechanical) and use other subs to handle some of the more trade specific areas of construction (i.e. Sheetrock, Concrete, Countertops, etc.).
